Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

Very disappointed in this how Jeep (fca) has allowed a driver to back-up with the liftgate open, without a chime or other loud warning (similar to that when your doors are open. By accident I backed up after automatically closing the liftgate and assuming it was closed. The liftgate was not able to close and automatically re-opened without warning. I was in a parking garage and unfortunately the liftgate rubbed against the cieling of the garage, causing minor damage to the liftgate. It could have been much worse. I contacted Jeep to log my complaint but was rebuffed and believe me, for their attitude in addressing a safety issue that should be corrected immediately, I will think twice about buying another Jeep. No vehicle should be allowed to be backup with the liftgate open, and without a chime to alert the driver.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 55 mph on a two lane road, the vehicle was unable to drive in a straight line. The vehicle veered to the right or left across the two lane road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer four times where it was determined that the vehicle was designed to perform that way. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was currently parked at the contact's residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

I entered my car, I did hear a bottle breaking noise but wasn't sure what it was. I got out of the car again to converse with a friend. When I got back in the car and closed the door, I heard the sunroof shade move like wind was above it. I opened the shade and saw a hole and shattered glass. I drove approximately a quarter mile, before I parked and heard the noise and saw the broken glass.

I received a recall from Chrysler/Jeep in regard to the brake/transmission shift interlock solenoid which may have an incorrectly crimped electrical connector. This could lead to the transition gear becoming locked in park or neutral position and cause a crash without warning. I received the recall in June 2016. Jeep of white plains, NY told me that service did not have enough parts and would place me on a waiting list. In August, I contacted them again and they explained that it was now a software issue and my car would only require a download. When I brought the car in on 8/31, they told me that they could not service the vehicle because it doesnt require a download (I was give the wrong info), the part is not available and I will have to be placed on a waiting list again. Waiting over 3 months for a recall is far from timely.
